Box Score SAN ANTONIO (Sept. 28, 2017) – St. Mary's (Texas) scored early and late en route to a 2-0 win over Oklahoma Christian in a men's soccer game on Thursday night at Sigma Beta Chi Field.

St. Mary's (5-3-1, 3-2 Heartland Conference) scored in the sixth and 88th minutes to hold off OC (3-4-1, 1-3-1) on a warm, rainy night in south Texas.
